Cactus Wren Sighting

 

The Desert Botanical Garden is the best place to find those busy little cactus wrens hard at work.  This one was taking a breather and enjoying the view from atop a cactus.  I'm always amazed by how comfortable they are with all those thorns sticking out around them.  This one is actually perched atop those thorns.

Great colors on the pretty bird.

That blue sky makes the bird's colors pop and shows off the cactus' prickly thorns.

It is a cute bird, Sharon. With tough feet. ;-)

What a beautiful little bird. It really stands out on top of the cactus.

I love cactus wrens. So much personality! I see them nesting in cholla plants, which have the sharpest, nastiest spines of any cactus!
